Named for the severely eroded granite lions guarding its door, this 14th- to 16th-century church contains an ornately carved triple shrine-altar dating from 1889. This holds holy relics of both St Loup and Limoges’ first bishop, St Martial…or at least what fragments could be rescued after 1791, when the city's St Martial cathedral was destroyed by revolutionaries.
The church sits at the top of old Limoges, its 70m spire topped with a green-copper ball that's visible from afar.
